	Amur or the Siberian tiger -- Panthera tigris altaica
		Due to the fact that the Amur River runs directly through their Russian habitat the common name of the Siberian tiger has changed to reflect their modern-day status and this subspecies is now usually referred to as the Amur tiger.
		Wild Amur tigers are thought to have experienced a 1940 all-time low of approximately 50 cats in Russia and an unknown number in China, but this could have been as high as 100 at the time.
		The Amur tiger has never been common and populations which maintain a low level for long periods of time are not as subject to genetic problems as larger populations which abruptly crash or are splintered.

		Male and female tigers leave scent marks such as urine sprayed on bushes and trees, feces left in prominent places, scratch marks on trees, and scrapes on the ground to show that their territory is occupied.
